Winterizing with Air this time
As the summer is winding down and students are going back to school in a few weeks, I am thinking about trying a new process for winterizing my trailer. I have been using the Antifreeze in the pipes ...

Been doing it with air for about 7 years now and I would never go back to the pink stuff.
Been winterizing with pink since 2006 and wouldn't ever use just air as there'll always still be small amounts of water trapped in valves, fittings, etc - pink is designed to displace this water. At times temps here in S Ontario can drop to -25C during the winter and pink has never failed me, never caused any issues, and I've never have had to replace anything because of freeze damage. I don't "drain" the system per se in the spring but during the course of purging the system of air and filling it with water any pink by definition is removed - no biggie at all. Your choice, but pink works just fine for me. :B
That said, this has nothing to do with the OP's original question - which was camping during cold fall weather. IMO, no need to winterize at all until temps consistently sit well below freezing, otherwise just go camping and don't worry about it. :)
